At Arkeonews.net, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used. Google Analytics provides insights such as the number of visitors, page views, and browser types. While Google Analytics does collect data, we have configured it to minimize the collection of personal information.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data about website usage. However, we have taken steps to anonymize IP addresses to enhance your privacy. This means that while we can analyze trends and usage patterns, we do not have access to personally identifiable information.
For more information about Google Analytics and how it works, please visit their Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads on our website as a means of supporting our operations. Please note the following:
- Non-Personalized Ads: We have disabled personalized ads, meaning that the ads you see on our site are based on contextual information (such as the content of the page you’re viewing) and not your personal data.
- Cookies and Default Settings: While we have unchecked all optional cookies and personalization features, some default cookies may still be set by Google AdSense to operate the platform. These cookies are essential for basic functionality, such as fraud detection and ad delivery.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on this site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
When uploading images to the site, you should avoid uploading images that include location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download images from the site and extract location data from them.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on the site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Data Retention Period
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
For users registered on this site, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile page. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information (although they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your Rights Regarding Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Please note that we may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.
